Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010140088A1] A system for determining loudspeaker position estimates comprises motion sensors (201, 203, 205) arranged to determine motion data for a user movable unit where the motion data characterizes movement of the user moveable unit. A user input (207, 209) receives user activations which indicate that at least one of a current position and orientation of the user movable unit is associated with a loudspeaker position when the user activation is received. The user activation may for example result from a user pressing a button. An analyzing processor (211) then generates loudspeaker position estimates in response to the motion data and the user activations. The system may e.g. allow a speaker position estimation to be based on a handheld device, such as a remote control, being pointed towards or positioned on a speaker.
